NEW: iCloud helps nab kidnappers at South Florida Denny’s

An 81-year-old former banker and tech junkie has created a new iPhone app aimed at seniors.

The victim of a South Florida kidnapping can thank iCloud for the arrest of his abductors.

According to WPLG, a man agreed to meet Ellis Colon de la Rosa, Rafael Mayeta Castillo and Nomar Sanchez Figueroa on Monday night to show the men some electronics he was trying to sell. When the victim got into Sanchez Figueroa’s car with iPhones, sunglasses and laptops, Colon de la Rosa put a gun to his head while the other two men took his belongings.

The three men drove the victim around for several blocks before letting him out of the vehicle and threatening to kill him if he contacted authorities, according to WPLG. Despite the threat, the victim informed North Bay Village Police of the crime.

Authorities used the victim’s iCloud account on the iPhone that had been stolen to trace the men back to a Denny’s in Coral Gables. A search of the suspect’s car revealed the victim’s stolen property and the men were arrested.
